What Is a Keyway?
A keyway is a slot or groove machined into a shaft or hub that accepts a key — a small, precisely dimensioned piece of metal that locks rotating components together, preventing relative movement and ensuring accurate, reliable power transmission. Keyways are fundamental components in gearboxes, motors, pumps, conveyors, and countless other mechanical systems where precise, secure shaft-to-hub connections are critical.
